[00:19.204]kick off my sheets, the summer heat’s got me sweatin
[00:23.632]turn up this beat, help me ease with the stressing
[00:26.067]open up the blinds, realized that i’m blessed with life
[00:29.180]bright future in sight
[00:31.489]when i stand on the balcony, looking in the distance
[00:34.020]never hanging on the fence, drowning in suspense
[00:36.640]not tense, at what expense do we swim in the substance that we can’t see love with
[00:41.941]love this, air i breathe
[00:44.574]hang with good peeps, that’s what i need
[00:47.120]imbibe with hip hop heads is what i feed on
[00:49.775]a real song comes from the heart, never be gone
[00:52.508]with the wind coming out the mountain top
[00:55.472]pacific breeze on my feet, taking off my socks
[00:57.686]at the beach, as the tide rolls into the land
[00:59.990]i see life as a grain of sand, damn
[01:02.778]you don’t have to wait for the wind to take you away
[01:08.808]they say it’s never too late, if you’re needing a change
[01:13.853]there’s nothing to lose if there’s nothing to gain

[01:32.396]i live to rhyme but when the when the times isn’t butter smooth
[01:35.186]hustling and make a buck or two under huge stress
[01:37.794]trying not to catch a bullet in your bubble goose
[01:39.922]up at noon with your big heart crushed in two
[01:42.792]cuz you love your boo, but she ain’t loving you
[01:45.390]single mother’s trying to trust a dude,
[01:47.945]and keep food in the cupboard plus she kid got the stomach flu
[01:50.767]the other two’s messing up at school,
[01:52.990]and you jumping through a bunch of hoops at work so they don’t cut you loose
[01:55.642]it’s just the truth, sometimes there isn’t much that you
[01:58.604]can do about it besides, try to adjust the view
[02:01.094]and see above the blues,
[02:02.770]i know it’s tough to do, at times
[02:04.852]so we try and bring up the mood like
[02:06.446]you don’t have to wait for the wind to take you away
[02:11.825]they say it’s never too late, if you’re needing a change
[02:17.092]there’s nothing to lose if there’s nothing to gain

[02:27.585]here’s the recipe for classic, it’s a smash hit
[02:30.453]down to earth, real life’s so full of magic
[02:32.791]mics to see in acid as life itself
[02:34.961]but it’s tragic when his casket reflects what i felt
[02:37.912]god help, i know you’re there following me
[02:40.408]cuz my faith is the evidence of things unseen
[02:43.032]i had a dream i saw my dad telling me that he’s proud
[02:45.598]his death has finally hit me, and it’s been 10 years now
[02:48.415]wow, it’s funny how these obstacles complicate and dominate
[02:51.972]the rough, rugged, and raw road we choose travel
[02:54.174]battle through dimensions touching catches of luck
[02:56.986]keep looking up, sometimes it feels like too much
[02:59.052]i clench my fist in anger where the happiness keeps me full
[03:01.668]the artist is the matador, and the industry’s the bull
[03:04.169]my stomach’s full, i’m pulling out, that last one made an ulcer
[03:07.192]throw it out, and look at life
[03:08.665]it’s time to rock a concert
[03:09.764]you don’t have to wait for the wind to take you away
[03:15.126]they say it’s never too late, if you’re needing a change
[03:20.342]there’s nothing to lose if there’s nothing to gain
